This is a really great route, like in a fairytale forest and I have rarely experienced such peace (no cars to be heard in the forest). You can also save yourself from having to go to a fitness center, because getting your stomach, legs, buttocks is pretty popular here. 😆

It was another nice hike with my OWK Walldürn colleague. We also started at B, so add another 2 km.

Shortly after Breitenau, the forest path was blocked off by a tape for no apparent reason and no detour was signposted. A few hundred meters further there are many large trees on the path. It is very difficult to walk around the obstacle over the steep slope. Apparently these trees have been there for a long time 😡
